The story of Ratchet, the dog rescued from Iraq, has a happy ending. He is safely at his new home, in Minnesota:
“…Ear rubs and even a dog biscuit failed to wake him. For Ratchet, who for two weeks was the subject of a tug-of-war between a Minnesota soldier in Baghdad and a military that prohibits pets, it’s a peaceful ending to a story that outraged people around the world, via the Internet.”

Terri Crisp, who is part of SPCA International, makes a salient point about these dogs from theatres of war. The animals make the transition back to civilian life much easier. Sometimes a happy dog is the best therapy - and even psychotherapists agree.
